The President of the State, Yitzhak “Bougie” Herzog, who previously served in Unit 8200, welcomes Doron Amir’s initiative: “You were privileged to be part of an event that is a stage that most clearly reflects the Israeli qualitative advantage. You have been granted the opportunity to prove your talent – your talent, the talents of a generation the future, and your ability to operate in the network spaces in the face of renewed challenges.
I would like to thank all the parties involved in the work: the municipality of Kiriyat Shmona, under the leadership of the dear Mayor Avihai Stern, the municipal network of community centers, and of course, Doron Amir. I hope that this championship will become a blessed tradition of excellence and innovation, a championship that is another opportunity to prove your tremendous talents – The young men and women of the Galilee”
